Disambiguation link notification for August 25
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited English nationalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Saxon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

"Ancwe" (Ancillary World English), "Anglonic"
[edit]I've reverted a number of your edits as you appear to be using Wikipedia to promote new concepts. Please see WP:PROMOTION. When these are widely discussed in reliable souces that would be the time to add them to appropriate articles. Thanks. Doug Weller (talk) 16:58, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Anglish Moot
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Anglish Moot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Hitro talk 18:50, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- my comments above are relevant to this. Do you understand this? Doug Weller (talk) 19:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Anglish Moot, you may be blocked from editing. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:01, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Anglish Moot
[edit]In fact if we view it as a group it doesn't meet our criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it."
Our criteria for websites is at Wikipedia:Notability (web). If you read both guidelines you'll see your site doesn't meet our criteria. And it is certainly against our policies to create a complaint in article space, so that will be deleted shortly. Doug Weller (talk) 20:39, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Please stop adding totally unsourced and POV edits to the above article. Wikipedia operates by quoting reliable sourced edits and not personal views. Failure to abide by Wikipedia conventions could see you blocked from editing. Thank you and regards, David J Johnson (talk) 22:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
It is not unsourced. Whatever you are doing is not in the spirit of Wikipedia as I thought it was conceived, i.e. the pursuit of knowledge. You can verify the truth of what I have written for yourselves if you weren't so prejudiced. I have given the source of the information which is the Oxford English Dictionary online. Are you conducting a coordinated vendetta? What qualifications do you people have?
Did you actually bother to read what I had written? It does not seem like it.
I am quite angry.
I don't think you know much about the subject, do you? so you take the easy option. For example, what is meant by the statement that the Wessex Regionalist Party is "sessionist"? Do have any proof of that assertion?
Do you have any proof that the name Wessex was in use before, as the OED online states, it was coined by William Barnes in 1869?
